The New York Giants have been lacking in the pass rush department since Jason Pierre-Paul was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2018. However, they have showed some signs of finally breaking out of their slump.
Leonard Williams has recorded 18.0 sacks over the past two seasons, while 2021 second-round pick Azeez Ojulari set the franchise rookie record for sacks (8.0) a year ago. Then, of course, there was the addition of Kayvon Thibodeaux in the 2022 NFL draft just last month.
Even with the departure of Lorenzo Carter, who came on strong to end last season, there seems to be some promise. And even some hidden gems.
